Default ??? Regarding Pressure Sensor Seals

I bought new Tire Pressure sensors from a couple of different Forum members, and the seals weren't included. My dealer is telling me that the seals can't be ordered separate from the sensors. Does anyone have any successful experience using something else in place of the stock seals?

Thx!

Sure, go to Home Depot or Lowe's and ask for a #9 "O" ring seal. They'll cost you about $3 for a package of ten.
